Socializing has always been one of my favorite pasttimes. I absolutely love being with people, but being in graduate school, it used to be difficult to find enough time to do so. Most of my socializing was limited to my musical performances, work, and my classes, but that has changed quite a bit over the last two or three years. Now I have the opportunity to get out more often, in part because I have a little bit of money to spend, but also because I got tired of sitting at home on my rump.

Here you'll find some words about, and photographs of, some of the special people in my world. Though my relationships with each may vary a great deal, all of them have meaning. Sounds pretty deep, doesn't it?

Now, of course, this is NOT an all-inclusive list. In fact, many people that I am very close to, that I may love with all of my heart, aren't pictured on this page. PLEASE don't take that personally. I have limited space, you know, not to mention the fact that I am lazy about scanning in older photos! Check out my page of links to find photos of some of those other special people.

I plan to keep updating this page with new photos, and I have decided, in the interest of speed and bandwidth, to keep them as thumbnails. Click on the image to view it in grand form, and to read the thrilling story that comes with it! Some stories have been expanded and updated, so you'll have to look at them all again!

These are just a few of the people who have made an impact on my life. Come back soon and see more of them! I have other pictures of friends on my web site, however...check them out!
